Overview
The Ontology Composer is represented by this icon in the Solution menu:
The Ontology Composer is the user interface to create and configure all aspects of an Ontology graph. An Ontology is made up of multiple nodes, called MSOs, short for Managed Semantic Objects - a configuration representing real-world objects digitally through a combination of data properties and metadata that gives the data context, additional qualities, and relationships with other objects. A grouping of such semantic objects is often referred to as a domain within which the semantic objects form the necessary ingredients to create the digital version of data and processes imitating the real world. To understand how individual MSOs are associated, interact with each other, and ultimately form a domain Ontology, the AO Platform provides an Ontology Viewer as an integral part of the Ontology Composer. See Ontology Viewer for details.
